The "Settings Option on the menu is grayed out, don't know how to access
it. I don't know what the settings are because I can't access that part
of the menu. Maybe "Details" is the settings? Both have a gear logo.

Internet service provided a Westell 327 from Verizon. It can serve as a
router or maybe a switch. They call it a "router". Westell 327 and The
Great Satan is a marriage made in the hot place. I prefer to keep
winders out of the router/modem or whatever it is.

I want this Virtual Box Windows setup to be able to interact with an
Apache server that is running in the Linux environment on the same
machine. That and maybe share the clipboard with Linux.
